Almond Milk Cherry Smoothie ingredients

Almond Milk- Cherry Smoothie

2016-01-15 11.42.56This is a great smoothie to start your new year!  I sweetened it with dates and if you haven’t used dates for a sweetener you should definitely try them. Besides the sweetness they add some texture and thickness to the smoothie. I don’t like my smoothies really thick, but if you do you can just add a little less almond milk to this recipe.  I use a Vitamix blender for all my smoothies and it is very high powered.  You can use a different blender, but you might have to blend a little longer to get rid of the chunks.

Instructions

  • 1. Soak the dates in warm water for about 5 minutes. Remove the pits from the dates and roughly chop softened dates
  • 2. Put almond milk into Vitamix or other high powered blender and add dates. Blend until dates are liquified.
  • 3. Add frozen cherries and frozen banana to the blender and blend thoroughly.
  • 4. Pour into a glass and enjoy!
